Product Description
GCB-27b is an immunostimulant that binds to CD1d. GCB-27b forms a stable and durable complex with CD1d, which presents the TCR to NKT cells, thereby driving an immune response. GCB-27b induces a Th1-type immune response in mice (Mus musculus), leading to high IFN-γ expression and restricted IL-4 levels. GCB-27b has potential applications in research on melanoma lung metastases.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
GCB-27b (1-1000 nM; 72 hours) effectively stimulated the production of Th1 cytokines in C57BL/6 mouse spleen cells in vitro, and no cytotoxicity was observed [1]. GCB-27b (100 nM; 2-24 hours) formed a more stable and durable complex with CD1d on mouse bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDC) in vitro, and its surface presentation level was significantly enhanced compared with αGalCer at 12, 18 and 24 hours after incubation [1]. GCB-27b (24 hours) effectively induced Th1 activation in human peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC)-derived NKT cells in vitro, and the frequency of IFN-γ+ cells was 2 times higher than that of αGalCer [1]. GCB-27b showed higher computational binding affinity to human and mouse CD1d than αGalCer, with a docking score of 20 for both, which is attributed to its optimized hydrophobic interactions in the CD1d A' pocket [1].
ln Vivo
In BALB/c mice, GCB-27b (2.33 nmol per mouse; intraperitoneal injection; single dose) induced serum IFN-γ levels 10.5 times higher than αGalCer, while IL-4 levels were similar to αGalCer, indicating that it has strong Th1-type immune activity [1]. In C57BL/6 mice, GCB-27b (2.33 nmol per mouse; intraperitoneal injection; single dose) effectively activated splenic dendritic cells (by increasing the expression of CD80 and CD86) and NK cells (by increasing the production of IFN-γ), indicating that it has strong innate immunostimulatory effects [1]. GCB-27b (0.58 nmol per mouse; intraperitoneal injection; single dose) reduced the number of B16-F10 melanoma lung metastatic nodules in C57BL/6 mice by 88% compared to αGalCer, driven by a strong Th1-biased cytokine response [1].
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models:BALB/c (n=5)[1]
Doses: 2.33 nmol per mouse
Route of Administration: Intraperitoneal injection; single dose
Experimental Results: Serum IFN-γ levels increased 10.5-fold at 24 hours post-injection compared to αGalCer. IL-4 levels at 2 hours post-injection were comparable to those induced by αGalCer. IL-4 levels peaked at 2 hours and then decreased, while IFN-γ levels peaked at 24 hours and then decreased, consistent with strong Th1-biased activity.
Animal/Disease Models:C57BL/6 (n=3)[1]
Doses: 2.33 nmol per mouse
Route of Administration: Intraperitoneal injection; single dose
Experimental Results: Compared with αGalCer, this product significantly increased the mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of CD80 and CD86 on CD11c+ dendritic cells (DCs). The proportion of IFN-γ+ NK cells in the spleen increased to 17.6%, significantly higher than that induced by αGalCer.
Animal/Disease Models:C57BL/6 (n=6; melanoma lung metastasis model)[1]
Doses: 0.58 nmol per mouse
Route of Administration: Intraperitoneal injection; single dose
Experimental Results: Compared with αGalCer, this study significantly increased serum IFN-γ levels (measured 24 hours after injection), and IL-4 levels (measured 2 hours after injection) were comparable to those induced by αGalCer. Compared with the αGalCer treatment group, the number of lung metastatic nodules was reduced by 88%, and H&E staining confirmed that lung metastasis was almost completely suppressed.

Note: Please be aware that the above formulations are for reference only. InvivoChem strongly recommends customers to read literature methods/protocols carefully before determining which formulation you should use for in vivo studies, as different compounds have different solubility properties and have to be formulated differently.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)
Preparing Stock Solutions 1 mg 5 mg 10 mg
1 mM 1.1182 mL 5.5909 mL 11.1818 mL
5 mM 0.2236 mL 1.1182 mL 2.2364 mL
10 mM 0.1118 mL 0.5591 mL 1.1182 mL

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
